    After a long time looking around and comparing prices I have finally come to a decision of getting Kings over other options. So my question.

    Those of you who have the kings with the adjuster on them are they worth the +$300 (front and back total +$600)?

    only off road probably 4 times a year and of course most of the rest is all road. From all my research the kings come out to be the best riding on the road. Are these adjusters really necessary (I understand they are more for fine tuning purposes) or should I save the $600 for something else down the road?

    thanks.

    If you don't do a lot of offroading, you probably don't need them in the front. The rear can be beneficial as you can stiffen them to help with whatever you hauling around.
    I've read for a lot of people its a set and forget type thing.

    I asked this question in September. If you're only going to go off-road about 4 times a year you also need to ask your self "Are Kings worth it?". If you read the thread people who have kings with and without adjusters their opinions are almost split right down the middle. If you are going to spend that type of $$$ on suspension then I would go with the adjusters. Tw members with adjusters have also said they set it and almost never change it and sometimes forget they have it. I decided to go with the adjusters and honestly its still to early for me to tell you if they are worth it. I've done some light off roading and hauling but nothing to the point where i need to air down and make suspension adjustments. They only thing I can suggest is really look and see if you need Kings if the answer is yes then I would wait for a 4th of July sale or Labor day sale and you can get a some awesome savings and pull the trigger on a set Kings with adjusters and save yourself a good chunk of $$$.
